AEI Rail Network Front End Processor (FEP) System is a group of programs used to monitor AEI readers on an entire railroad. This system communicates with a number of wayside AEI readers via T94 messages that dial into the system's server and sends AEI data each time a train passes a reader. In most cases the wayside readers use a public telephone system (cellular, land line or both) to transmit this data. When a server receives data it passes it on to other railroad systems via an FTP server, TCP/IP communication or email. The system contantly monitors the health of AEI readers. It displays AEI reader status on a graphical map of the railroad. It also automatically send emails to maintenance personnel when it detects problems. The system consists of three main programs. The first is the AEI Network FEP Builder, which enables users to draw a map of their railroad and add information about the wayside AEI readers. The second program, AEI Network FEP Server, handles communications between the Servers and the wayside AEI readers. The third program, AEI Network Tracker, is optional and tracks the rail vehicles' movements. Manuals for each of these programs can be downloaded by clicking on the appropriate button below. |
